I think if we could figure this out, they would just change things behind the curtain again. They don't want people randomly going viral and blowing up cause they have to pay out more. I think it is better to not go viral with one video and rather build up slowly. At least that is what I have read and heard. One viral video doesn't mean you will be successful.

Since posting this, I have uploaded some videos. They are hardly getting any traction on Rumble. I make sure to do the tags and everything. Of the 4 videos I uploaded, only 2 of them have a few views each. I don't get it. I can't even search for my channel on the website. How are people meant to find anything on Rumble? This feels like a terrible website lol

I was thinking this too. If I build up my social accounts first, it can boost the traffic to my site and make it more worth it. Seems silly to spend the time and money on making one right now though.

Isn't Zazzle one you buy and they ship the items to you though? I want ones that do the shipping for you. You just provide designs. I will check out Printful and TeePublic. Thanks guys!

I am considering setting up a website to run alongside my YouTube/Rumble channel. I probably won't do it right away but I am just thinking of ideas. So anyways, is this something worth doing in 2026? Or should I just stick to using places like Instagram, TikTok, and X to promote things?

I am probably getting ahead of myself but I know people that make content on YouTube, Rumble, etc. sell merch through printing companies online. They get a small cut of the sale and don't have to worry about handling the sales. I think this is a great way to make extra income, especially for smaller creators. I am just having a hard time figured out which one is the best over all. Does anyone have experience with them here?

This is what I have gathered. I do think Google does push certain people, channels, or content that is more "advertisement friendly" and it does make sense to do this. Still, it feels unfair for new creators. We are left guessing.

I have a few ideas for a channel that I think will do well. Some people have told me to go with Rumble over YouTube as I would have an easier time gaining an audience. My issue is that Rumble seems to be mostly politics. Like 70% of the content on there. I don't know if this is because they give it a push or what. My niche would be in gaming and I don't see very many gamers on Rumble getting good numbers. Should I just stick with YouTube or should I try Rumble first?
